Chapter IX: Frozen Heart... Lonely Soul...
Desire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

"Desde que me mim nasceste / Since you were born within
Naquela noite misteriosa / In that secretive night
Não mais morreste / Never haven't withered
Na minha alma silenciosa... / Inside my mute soul..."

In a single tear I weep over my entire life
And you angel who remains within
Lay bare my lost happiness
Just for one last moment as I'm towards the end...

My heart lies numb, frozen
Out of utter bitterness
For the fire of passion burnt
In its sweet grave of loneliness

I'm the still darkness
I'm melancholy's ache
I'm the loneliness which cannot fill the void
I'm a cry of agony

I feel so lonely, so blank
So cold, so deaden
Locus Horrendus in a gloomy world
Flame far down from the deep hell

"Meu ser habita na Noite e no Desejo.
Minha alma é uma lembrança que há em mim."

All I ever wanted was a kiss
All I ever wanted was to draw out
A single teardrop from you
My whole being dwells
On the night and in desire...
My soul lives under the bewitching moon

I'm the still darkness
I'm melancholy's ache
I'm the loneliness which cannot fill the void
I'm a cry of agony

I'm the still darkness
I'm melancholy's ache
I'm the loneliness which cannot fill the void
I'm a cry of agony





My soul is bound to yours
I cannot tear myself away from you!...
